Chelsea are looking to avoid a repeat of their 2-1 Premier League defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, which saw them have 69% possession and 16 attempts at goal. The only goal for Chelsea was scored by Christopher Nkunku. Wolverhampton Wanderers had 14 attempts on goal, with Mario Lemina and Matt Doherty scoring for them. Chelsea have not held out for a full 90 minutes in recent games, and their defence has been breached in five of their last six matches, allowing eight goals. Chelsea have not been beaten by Crystal Palace in their previous 11 games and are undefeated in their previous three home league matches.

Crystal Palace’s recent Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion resulted in a 1-1 draw. The team had 35% possession and 11 attempts at goal, with Jordan Ayew scoring for Crystal Palace. Brighton & Hove Albion had 18 attempts on goal, with Danny Welbeck scoring for Brighton & Hove Albion. Crystal Palace has been scored against in six of their last six matches, with opposing sides scoring a total of 10 goals. The team has not won against Chelsea in away games for the last six league matches, and has not won away from home in their last three league games. The trend of scoring against opposing teams is expected to continue.

Chelsea are facing a significant injury problem, potentially losing 13 players on Wednesday. Key players Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling are suspended for one match after receiving their fifth yellow card in a 2-1 defeat against Wolves. Midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka is also out due to a slight knee injury, while Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo are ruled out due to illness.

The away team will be missing seven players, including primary goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, who sustained a calf injury in a 1-2 loss against Liverpool. Dean Henderson is expected to fill his position in goal. Premier League’s eldest manager, Roy Hodgson, is under pressure as his team faces seven consecutive matches without a win, leading to inevitable lineup changes.

Predicted lineups:

Chelsea

Goalkeeper: Djordje Petrovic
Defenders: Ian Maatsen, Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, Malo Gusto
Midfielders: Moises Caicedo, Conor Gallagher, Mykhaylo Mudryk, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke

Crystal Palace

Goalkeeper: Dean Henderson
Defenders: Tyrick Mitchell, Joachim Andersen, Marc Guehi, Nathaniel Clyne
